A Khon Kaen nurse has apologized for posting a laughing reaction on a Facebook thread featuring her own image, following the death of a woman she had posted the comment on. She wrote the apology as a response to the same post, acknowledging her mistake and accepting blame for her careless behavior. The woman had been lying in a hospital bed in Khon Kaen for several hours, expressing her frustration over being unable to receive medical attention.
The post on the large Facebook page garnered numerous comments, many of which were from nursing staff, including one that stated, "If you are in pain and cannot wait, then go home and die." The woman's son discovered her unconscious body in the hospital bathroom around 4am, four hours after visiting hours had ended. While the comments themselves did not directly lead to her death, her fall and the subsequent care she received are separate issues that her family continues to question.
The hospital has not been identified nor has it commented on the matter, and no investigation has been announced. The Nursing Council has yet to determine if it will investigate the conduct of any of the accounts involved.
